End of 2017 Update

Hey everyone, happy holidays!

I thought that maybe this would be a good time to update everyone on everything "Indie Spotlight"

First, the live streaming broadcast, done. While I might do a random live show here or there for the hell of it, it's over, there just doesn't seem to be any interest and this is not the fault of our final hosting site, Camup has been an amazing site to host on, this is mostly because we've had to change hosting sites so many times over the last 5 or so years that we've gained and lost viewership, and overall, at least for this format, there just isn't an interest in the live streaming format anymore, at least for this kind of show.

The next piece of this, and I'd really love some feedback, is the podcasting alternative, I'm thinking a once a month, 3 hour podcast, thoughts?

Social media, well, here is where it gets interesting, Facebook doesn't allow you to play YouTube videos on site anymore, when you click the link, it takes you to the YouTube page, (Twitter still plays them onsite) so while I am going to go back to posting the daily videos I need to see if there is some interest there, yes, I need to see "likes" as well as "shares" to tell me if it's worthwhile to keep up the social media presence, otherwise, and again, hate to sound like an ass, but I'm being honest, I don't see a reason to continue on if it's not being shared around, this is the purpose of Indie Spotlight afterall, promote and fight for the little guy/gal and why not? Some amazing music has been shared on these pages, and if there is an interest will continue to be shared.

I do have to admit, that I'm very proud of Indie Spotlight, come what may with the future of it, I mean, how many people can say that they've been able to do something that they are passionate about, for any length of time, much less breathe life into it for as long as I have and it has been one hell of a ride no matter what comes of it going forward but I do hope that at least people will like, and most importantly share the daily videos, as well that the podcast.
